I'm trying T-Mobile internet now. (super sick of calling Comcast every year when they double my rate so they can lock me into another contract) They sent a 4G LTE modem. I'm getting 5-24 Mbps down, 10-40Mbps up, and 40-60ms ping.

The Raspberry Pi is not a good example if you want control of the hardware. Closed GPU and microcode, no chance of finding actual hardware documentation (beyond coarse schematics), and no way to buy components. Broadcom is not aligned with

I love Brian Kernighan interviews so I was eager to listen. I have mixed feelings. You would often make a point and then play snippets from him supporting it. You often gave yourself center stage and used him as evidence. I found it overedi

Presumably logging into your personal account would be what’s against their policy. They should have set up an account for that computer to use. It’s also surprising that they didn’t ship it to you in a usable state.

We can. They would be vastly more expensive than the telescopes we're building on earth, and uneconomical to fix or upgrade. One day we'll have synthetic aperture radiotelescope swarms in space. For now, it's a better use of

The transmission capability is part of the reason Arecibo would be so difficult to fix. The platform is almost 900 tons. China's FAST telescope was designed without transmit, mostly to save on suspended weight. Its focus cabin is only

One data point: when I was consulting a year ago, I had to run two fully virtualized desktops just to use the client's awful VPNs and enterprise software. Those VMs, plus a regular developer workload, made my 16GB laptop unusable. Upgr

Twitter indeed works like that. You’ve used the star menu to set your feed to chronological, which is not the default.

The MD-11 that was so crashy that airlines eventually sold their airframes to freight companies because cargo can’t refuse to get on one?

You think getting fired for violations is the nuclear option? Then what do you call involving law enforcement?

The perpetrators still have their jobs and the women they harassed still have to work with them. It seems Verkada actually does tolerate sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior.

> DO is aware and saying that they can’t do anything, that the project maintainers need to wade through the garbage and mark it spam. The maintainers don’t get anything for their additional work. Way to go DO.

If you’re saying that Boeing currently incentivizes quality over cost, what evidence are you basing that on? There are lots of news articles on the development of the 787 and 737MAX showing Boeing only too willing to compromise on quality.

“That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to.“ Doesn’t seem to be much of a misquote. Poor Mitchell Baker. She’ll just have to suffer with her non-discounted salary.

You’re right. The difficulty here is that you can’t be wrong about gay marriage and also be be a trusted leader of gay people. If you hold strong opinions that are counter to your company’s manifesto, you might not want to be in charge of i
